After Lu Ning finished speaking, she saw Qin Xiang's shocked, guilty, and frightened expression.

She deliberately sighed, "Trying to have your cake and eat it too will only lead to disaster sooner or later."

"You're talking nonsense! Xiangxiang isn't that kind of person."

Lu Wu immediately refuted Lu Ning's words, looking at her and saying, "You're just jealous that Xiangxiang has so many suitors, all of whom are much better than your penniless boyfriend, so you're deliberately trying to sow discord. Do you think I'd fall for that?"

Lu Ning asked incredulously, "Me, trying to sow discord?"

"Yes, I know about Gu Yan. He is Xiangxiang's suitor."

Lu Ning's eyes were filled with sarcasm: "But we all know that Gu Yan and Qin Xiang are dating, and it's not just a simple case of him being a suitor."

Lu Liu added, "That's right, Qin Xiang and Gu Yan started dating right after graduating from high school."

Lu Wu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at Qin Xiang incredulously: "Xiangxiang, what exactly happened?"

They said Qin Xiang had spoken with Gu Yan, but that's not what Qin Xiang said to him.

Qin Xiang was in a state of utter confusion. She never expected that Gu Yan, that mama's boy, would actually go to Lu Ning to inquire about her, and even tell Gu Yan about her engagement.

She had finally managed to calm Gu Yan down, but then Lu Ning actually revealed it in public!

Qin Xiang's expression was extremely stiff. Her face was pale as she looked at Lu Wu: "Fifth Brother, Gu Yan and I have never actually confirmed our relationship. It was Gu Yan who told everyone that we were dating."

At this point, she certainly couldn't admit it.

Otherwise, Lu Wu will be angry.

After Qin Xiang finished speaking, she looked at Lu Dongyou pitifully and said, "Brother, I have to apologize to you for this. I lied."

Lu Dongyou looked intently at Qin Xiang: "You actually never dated Gu Yan?"

He never expected that Qin Xiang would dare to lie to him as well.

Qin Xiang lowered her head, looking aggrieved, and remained silent.

Lu Wu stood beside Qin Xiang: "Big brother, I know you are very ambitious, but you can't use Xiangxiang to get in touch with rich young men and arrange a marriage. This will ruin Xiangxiang."

"I didn't force Qin Xiang to do that!"

Lu Dongyou was furious with Lu Wu. Qin Xiang had always been the one who wanted to climb the social ladder, and he never expected to be turned around and blamed now.

Seeing that Lu Dongyou was angry, Qin Xiang quickly tried to salvage the situation: "Fifth Brother, it's not Big Brother's fault. After all, we can't afford to offend the Gu family, so I had to play along with Gu Yan before, but I definitely have nothing to do with him."

"Xiangxiang, I believe in you."

Lu Ning burst out laughing: "Qin Xiang has slept with Gu Yan countless times, and you say nothing happened? Who are you trying to fool?"

"Lu Ning, shut up! Do you think Xiangxiang is as shameless as you, that she would even look at a penniless guy?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ning's expression instantly changed.

She continued, "Qin Xiang didn't just sleep with Gu Yan..."

Before Lu Ning could finish speaking, Qin Xiang rushed up to her and said pitifully, "Sister Ningning, I will never dare to compete with you again. You are the only eldest daughter of the Lu family. After I get engaged to Lu Wu, I will move out of here and never appear in front of you again."

So please, please don't tell anyone that she slept with the housekeeper.

Otherwise, Lu Wu definitely wouldn't want her.

Lu Ning saw through Qin Xiang's plea and pushed the white lotus away: "You just want to stop me from telling you who else you've slept with, but I won't let you have your way. I'm going to tell you."

Qin Xiang's face was almost deathly pale. No, she couldn't let that bitch Lu Ning say it.

Qin Xiang grabbed the fruit knife from the table and pointed it at her wrist: "Sister Ningning, I really know I was wrong this time. I'm willing to die for you."

Lu Ning rested her chin on her hand: "Then why don't you die and show me?"

Lu Wu was extremely anxious: "Xiangxiang, don't do anything reckless! What if you hurt yourself?"

"Fifth Brother, I know my existence in the Lu family is awkward. Anyway, I've only survived this long because of the Lu family. If my death can bring peace back to the Lu family, I'm willing to die."

"I won't allow you to die!"

Lu Wu was very anxious: "If you die, then there's no point in me living."

After Lu Wu finished speaking, he also picked up another fruit knife from the table, but Lu Dongyou snatched it away: "Are you crazy?"

"Big brother, you know I've always liked Xiangxiang. But because my leg is crippled, I felt I wasn't good enough for her, so I never dared to confess and could only silently protect her. Now that she's willing to be with me, I'm willing to risk my life to protect her."

Lu Dongyou held the fruit knife, looking quite dejected.

Lu Ning, who was watching the show from the sidelines with a fruit platter in her hand, said, "Keep going, why did you stop acting?"

"Lu Ning, do you have any conscience? Can you really bear to see Xiangxiang die?"

Lu Wu was very angry and slapped the fruit plate out of Lu Ning's hand.

Lu Ning said lightly, "Actually, it's fine if you want me to not pursue Qin Xiang's responsibility. I made a condition to my older brother, but I don't think he told you guys."

Lu Wu and Qin Xiang both looked over.

Lu Wu asked directly, "Big brother, what exactly are Lu Ning's conditions?"

Lu Dongyou's expression was somewhat unnatural, and he remained silent.

Lu Ning said with a smile, "Fifth Brother, I've been carrying the blame for your accident and amputation for so many years. It's time for Big Brother to clear things up for me."

She looked at Lu Dongyou: "As long as you clarify what happened back then, I can let it go. Isn't that a good deal?"

Lu Wu stepped forward and looked at Lu Dongyou: "Brother, what exactly happened?"

Lu Dongyou was driven to this point, his heart burning with anger, but he couldn't do anything to Lu Ning.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Fifth brother, when you had that accident and needed to have your leg amputated, I was really in a lot of pain and didn't know what to do. You have to understand how your older brother felt back then!"

Lu Ning interrupted Lu Dongyou's long-winded rambling: "So you deliberately didn't answer the phone back then, forcing me to make a decision, right?"

Lu Dongyou's face was ashen. He then said to Lu Wu, "There was nothing we could do about my elder brother's situation..."

"Mr. Lu Dongyou, you only need to answer yes or no."

Lu Ning continued to press Lu Dongyou for a direct answer!

Lu Dongyou's face contorted for a moment before he finally answered, "Yes."

The sound of this word lacked confidence.

Lu Ning turned to Lu Wu and said, "Did you hear that? I didn't cause your leg injury!"

Lu Wu's face was ashen, and he stared at Lu Dongyou in disbelief: "Why? My leg could have been saved back then!"

If the eldest brother had made the decision, perhaps the outcome would have been different?

Maybe his leg can be saved?

Lu Dongyou's face was extremely pale. Admitting this was more painful than being killed. He stared at Lu Ning and said, "I have done what you said. Now it's your turn. You can't continue to pursue Xiangxiang's responsibility for this."

"Okay, but she's not allowed to interfere in the foundation's affairs anymore!"

Lu Ning's current target is not Qin Xiang.

Upon learning that she was alright, Qin Xiang, who was standing next to her, immediately smiled and said, "Big brother, thank you. I promise I will never make the same mistake again and embarrass you."

Lu Dongyou looked at Lu Wu with some guilt: "Big brother will make it up to you."

"I want to marry Xiangxiang, and you can't object."

Lu Wu grabbed Qin Xiang's hand; this was what he wanted to do most right now.

Lu Dongyou's face turned cold: "This is the only thing that won't do!"

"Why? Does that mean you like Xiangxiang too, big brother?"
